THE OPINION.
Delivered Ky Ciller Justice Sharsv.-end.
By Telegraph 10 Ixteixi&exces.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. A.
Following is the opinion in full filed
lieic this morning at the meeting of the
.supreme ceuit :
Exparte Weinman and Hemel. Errer
te quarter aement, r.ancnler county.
SlIAItSWOOI), C. .1.
The record before us has been brought
up by a writ of error under the act of
Assembly approved May 19, 1870, G0G0, en
titled "an act icgulating proceedings
against attorneys at law in this common
wealth ' It provides that in all cases of
any proceedings in any court of this com
men wealth against any attorney of said
court for unprofessional conduct as an offi
cer of such court, said attorney shall
be entitled te a writ of error from the su
preeo court of this commonwealth, as in
civil cases, te said court from any judg
ment, order, or deeccef said court against
him as such officer, which writ of error
shall remove the i ecerds and all the pro
ceedings thciciu te the supreme court of
this commetiwcKli, and il shall be the
duty of said court te review
the same Jc ueiu, and the complainant
shall have the right toeflcr new testimony
by deposition or otherwise as said supicnic
court may direct ; and, upon hearing, said
court may modify i uver.se or affirm said
judgment, order decree of the court be
. ew as the justice of the case may require.'
Other previsions are added as te the hear
ing of the cause in any district, and giving
it preference ever all ether than homicide
cases, and as te the co-its. all of which, te
say the least, are unusual. The icmcdy
by writ of error, which properly rcqtihcs
two parties, is certainly net the best
which could have been devis.:d: and
what is meant by reviewing the
case tie iieca is net vcrv intelligible
unless it be from what
court is te hear any new
mav be offered bv the
net by the coin I
parties if there
On the whole it is a
lativc patchweik. Hew far the prevision
that this court shall hear new testimony
and decide the ease as if it was a new one
is consistent with that article of the con
stitution which prohibits the su
jremc court from the exe:ci.e of
any eiigiual jurisdiction except in a
few specified eases, is a question which
does net arise, as the controversy here is
presented fully in the record, and we are
net a.sked te leek out of it. The com
plainants were members of the bar of Lan
caster county, and were also the edi
tors of a newspaper published there ;
thej printed in their paper an aitiel.i very
severely reflecting upon the conduct of the
court in a certain prosecution in the quar
ter sessions in which the defendant
had been acquitted en an indict
ment for violating the liquor law.
It charged that the acquittal was
secured by a prostitution of the ma
chinery of justice te serve the exigencies
of theTtepublicnn pally," and added that
as the judges belonged te that party
the court was ''unanimous for once
that it need take no cognizance of
the imposition practiced upon it and
the disgrace attaching te it.' We may
safely assume that it meant te charge, and
did charge, that the judges had decided
the case wrongfully from motives of politi
cal partisanship. We have no hesitation
in pi-oneuncing such a publication te be a
gross libel en its face. Nothing can
be mere disgraceful, net even
perhaps that of direct bribery, than such
an imputation en the motives of judges in
the administration of justice. The court
thereupon sent for the complainants and
en their appearance and taking upon
themselves the responsibility of the publi
cation in qucstieiijcntcicd a rule upon them
te show cause why they should net be dis
barred and their names stricken ' from
the list of attorneys for misbehavior in
their offices as attorneys. Te these rules
they appeared and put in an answer re
spectively and the inles were afterwards
made absolute.
Many objections have been made te the
proceeding which we will net step te con cen
sider;we cutcrtaimied eubt that a court has
jurisdiction, without any formal complaint
or petition, upon its own motion, te strike
the name of an attorney from the roll in a
.proper case, provided he has had reason
able notice and been afforded an opportu
nity te be heard in his own defense.
Ne question can be made of the power of
a court te strike a member of the bar from
the roll for official misconduct in or out of
court. Bythe seventy-third section of the
act of April 14, 1S3-J, fiO,S54it is expressly
enacted that " if any attorney at law shall
misbehave himself in his office of attorney
he shall be liable te suspension, removal
from office or such ether penalties as have
heretofore been allowed in such cases by
the laws of this commonwealth." We de
net mean te say for the case does net call
for such an opinion that there may
net be cases of misconduct,net strictly pro
fessional which would cleat ly show a per
son net lit te be an attorney nor lit te
associate with honest men. Thus if he
was proved te be a thief, a forger, a
perjurer, or guilty of ether offenses of the
crimen falsi. IJut no one, we
suppose, will contend that for such an of
fense he can ba summarily convicted and
disbarred by the court without a formal
indictment, trial and conviction by a jury
or upon conviction in open court. Whether
a libel is an efleuse of such a character
may be a question, but certain it
is that if the libel in this case had been
upon a private individual or upon a pub
lic officer, such even as the district attor
ney, the court could net have summarily
convicted the defendants or disbarred them.
The office of an attorney is his property
and he cannot be deprived of it unless by
the judgment of his peers or the law of
the land, this last phrase meaning, as
wc have been taught by Lord Coke, "due
process of law.."
By the seventh section of the first article
of the constitution of 1874, the hill of
rights, it is declared that "no conviction,
shall be had in any prosecution for
the publication of papers relating te the
official conduct of officers or men in public
capacity or te any ether .matter proper for
public investigation or information,
where the fact that such publication
was net maliciously or negligently made
shall be established te the satisfaction of
the jury."' This is a new and very imper
tant prevision, introduced into the bill of
rights by the constitution of 1874. It would
be a clear infraction of the spirit, if net the
letter, of this article te held that
an attorney can be summarily disbarred
for the publication of a libel en a man in a
public capacity, or where the matter was
proper for public investigation or inferma
tien, for a man certainly does net forfeit
his constitutional tights as a freeman by
becoming an attorney. It guarantees te
him immunity from all liability te punish
ment in case of the publication of papers
relating te the official conduct of officers or
men in public capacity " where the fact
that such publication was net maliciously
or negligently made shall be established te
the satisfaction of the jury." Hut the
giavamcu of the offenses of the complain
ants was that the publication was a libel
en the court of which they were attor
neys, and this, it is earnestly contended,
was "misbehavior in their office," which
gave the ceuit power te exercise summary
jurisdiction bv removing them. The
duty of an attorney is briefly comprehend
ed in the terms of his oath, "te behave
himself in the office of attorney accerdiug
te the best of his learning and ability and
with all geed fidelity as well te the court
as te the client." Was the publication
in question a breach of this oath ? Fidcl
ity te the ceuit includes many particu
lars, but they all evidently concern his of
ficial relations. "The sum of the matter"
says Chief Justice Gibsen in the Austin
case, "i li.uvlc 203, "is that an at
torney at law holds his office during
geed behavior, and that he is net profes
sionally answei able for a bcttttiny into the
official conduct of the judges which would
net cxpesij him te legal animadversion as
a citizen.' t"eine of the lemarks in the
opinion in that case have been much
relied en by (he learned counsel who
have argued as nmki curie in
support of flic action of the ceuit below.
Hut thcie aie two considerations bearing
upon the question which new exist, but
did net at the time that decision was ren
dered. The fit st is the new prevision en
the .subject of the libeit.v of the press
which has been introduced into the bill
of lights of the constitution of 1874,
and the second is that at that time the
judiciary was net elective. Judges in 1835
were appointed by the governor and their
tenure of office was during geed behavior.
Theie might then be some reason for hold
ing that an appeal te the f ribunal of popular
opinion was in all cases of judicial niiseon niiseen
dnct a mistaken course and injustiflablc
in an attorney. The proceedings by im
peachment or address were the only ones,
which could be resorted te, (e effectively
remedy the supposed evil. Te petition
the Legislature was then ihe pro
per step : te appeal te the people
was te diminish confidence in the
com I and bring them into contempt with
out any geed result. We need net say
that the case is altered, and that it is new
the tight and duty of a lawyer te bring te
the net ice of the people, who elect the
judges, every instance of what he believes
te be corruption or partisanship. Ne class
of the community ought te be allowed
freer sceps in the expression or publication
of opinions as te the capacity, impartiality
or integiity of judges than members of the
bar. They have the best oppertun
itics of observing and forming
a ceirect judgment ; thej are in
constant attendance en the courts ; hun
dreds of Uiec who are called en te vote
never enter a court rcem or if they de it is
only at intervals as jurors, witnesses or
parties. Te say that an attorney can
only act or speak ou this subject
under liability te be called te account
and te be deprived of his professional live
lihood by the very judge or judges whom
he may consider it his duty te attack and
expose, is a position tee monstrous te be
entertained for a moment under our pres
ent system.
In -admitting, as he seems te de, that a
libel en the ceuit may be a breach of pro
fessional duty in an attorney. Chief Jus
tice Gibsen adds a most material qualifi
cation : " The motive should be clearly
shown te have been the acquirement of
an influence ever the judge in
the exercise of his judicial functions by
the instrumentality of popular prejudice"
Ne such motive has been or can be im
puted te these complainants. The learned
judge who delivered the opinion of the court
below imputes no such motive te them. He
says, "Their motive, though net openly
or at all avowed in the publication, is tee
obvious te admit of doubt. The least
reprehensible motive by which their
professional misconduct can be sup
posed te have been animated is
a desire for the prominence or notoriety in
the editorial corps. The real or true mo
tive could be no ether than partisan mal
ice, or a wilful headlong zeal te promote
partisan interests in the face of
their official fidelity te this court,
regardless of all consequences." Suppose
the motives here assigned te be the trite
motives which actuated the complainants
"a desire for notoriety,' "partisan ma
lice, " and "a wilful headlong ::eal te pro
mote partisan interests." What had they
te de with professional conduct or fitness
te practice law? The complainants in
their sworn answers te the rule aver
that in making the publication in
question they were "acting iu geed
faith, without malice, and for the
public geed." Of course wc mean te ex
press no opinion upon the merits of the
controversy between the court below and
the complainants. Wc concede te the court
all that has been claimed en their behalf,
that the publication in fact was a falsa and
malicious libel, and that in making the
rule absolute they were actuated by a
simple desire te upheld the authority and
dignity of the court. If this was a mere
question of discretion, we are of
opinion that their order was a mistake.
The act of 1879 gives this court juris
diction te review the discretion of the
court below, and we think it was net in
this case 'wisely exercised. , The order
which made absolute the rales' te show
cause why the names of the complainants
should net he stricken from the list j men pleas court began with Judge Patter
of attorneys is hereby vacated and the
rules discharged, and it is ordered that
the complainants be restored te the bar,
the costs of this proceeding and writ of
error te be paid bythe county of Lancas
ter.

Help te Mothers Nursing Infants.
It is a conceded fact that mothers who have
the care, anxiety and draught et nursing in
hints, arc weak and need the aid et some
strengthening tonic te make up the nourish
ment required ler the growth of the child.
Ale, porter and lager beer have often been re
commended. Of late, since physicians have
become aware that the Pert Grape Wine pro
duced by Allred Speer, et Passaic. N. J., is
strictly pure, they have prescribed it instead
of ale and porter. This wine is principally
sought for by mothers who have nursing in
fants at Hie breast, as the best supplying modi medi modi
clne te be found. The wine Is rich in body and
net intoxicating, but gently stimulating.
Druggists generally keep it. Enquirer.
This wine is endorsed by Drs. Atlce and
